===Deep-sky objects=== Due to its small size and its distance from the plane of the [[Milky Way]], Equuleus is rather devoid of [[deep sky objects]] such as [[star clusters]] and [[nebulae]]. Some very faint [[galaxy|galaxies]] in the [[New General Catalogue]] between [[Apparent magnitude|magnitudes]] 13 and 15 include [[NGC 7015]], [[NGC 7040]], and [[NGC 7046]]. [[NGC 7045]] is a [[triple star]] that was mistaken as a nebula by its discoverer, [[John Herschel]].<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=NGC 7045 Basic Information |url=http://ngcicproject.observers.org/NGC/NGC_70xx/NGC_7045.htm |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=The NGC/IC Project}}</ref> Other faint galaxies in the [[Index Catalogue]] include IC 1360, IC 1361, IC 1364, IC 1367, IC 1375, and IC 5083. IC 1365 is a group of galaxies. The magnitudes of these objects vary from 14.5 to 15.5, making them hard to see in even the largest of [[Amateur astronomy|amateur]] telescopes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Deep sky objects in Equuleus - Full list |url=https://theskylive.com/sky/constellations/equuleus-deepsky-objects |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=The Sky Live}}</ref>
